Step 1: upgrade to 2.6

Step 2: configure squid as a proper accelerator for your site
   http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ReverseProxy
   or if you want to use their site, I've updated the bottom section
about squid 2.6 to show a config with at least a medium-level of security.

Step 3: check that the page Cache-Control headers are set to allow caching.
